The 2023 Grammy Awards are here.
Trevor Noah is set to host, Beyoncé is leading the nominations, Luke Combs is performing and Shania Twain is set to present.
Here's what else to know about music's biggest night:
This year, the awards show will air on Sunday at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS, and will stream live and on-demand on Paramount+.
The host for the Grammy Awards this year is comedian and former "Daily Show" host Trevor Noah. Noah is no stranger to hosting, as he emceed music's biggest night the previous two years.
"It is thrilling. For me, it’s a cheat code because I’m a fan of almost all the people who are there. It has also been interesting because of the journey," Noah told Billboard. "The first one was [during] COVID-19, and it was a completely different way to make the show. And then the next one was in Las Vegas because of the restrictions [in Los Angeles], and that was a different type of show. Now it’s exciting [because] it’ll be the first one for me back in L.A. — that’s hopefully not just normal, but different for the right reasons."
Beyoncé has the most nominations at the Grammys this year. She has also achieved the status of being the artist nominated for the most Grammys ever, tied for the title with her husband, rapper Jay-Z. With nine nominations at this year's awards show, the singer now has a career total of 88 Grammy nominations.
The songstress is up for record of the year for "Break My Soul," album of the year for "Renaissance," song of the year, best R&B performance, best R&B song for "Cuff It" and others. In the album of the year category, she is up against ABBA for "Voyage," Adele for "30," Bad Bunny for "Un Verano Sin Ti," Harry Styles for "Harry’s House," Kendrick Lamar for "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers" and Lizzo for "Special."
